The highest calorie menu items at America’s top 10 fast food chains revealed… and you may be surprised

Fast food chains are serving up tasty treats loaded with up to 2,000 calories – the daily recommended intake for U.S. adults.

While the ingredients in some of these offerings sound healthy, digging down into the sodium and cholesterol components is enough to send you running for your ab cruncher.

Here are just some of the most popular dishes served up at America’s biggest fast food chains which have a worrying calorie count. White Castle tops the list, with its sack of 20 deep-fried chicken rings boasting 1,760 calories – just shy of an adult’s recommended daily allowance

Only a handful of chains – McDonald’s, Panera Bread, Starbucks and Subway – post calorie counts on their menus. Soon all chains with more than 20 outlets will have to do it too.

In the meantime, Market Watchhas served up 10 of the highest calorie fast foods to help you make informed decisions – and the results are startling.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
